UPDATE:I ran the trails a week ago to see the time it would take.
Las Chiches trail:Is the longest due to some over the road travel with a time of 2 and half hours round trip.
Pine Mountain Road:This trail starts on the way back from Las Chiches trail . Never been able to do this trail in full due to my rover doesn't look like she will make up it with out a winch and if you mess up your falling down a cliff..Some pics of a jeep doing it http://s246.photobucket.com/albums/gg119/BruceHotAirRubi/?albumview=slideshow
Garcia ridge:This one is a fast trail with it only half mile from camp bout 40min if no spotting is needed.Will need to limit how many truck are on the trail at one time due to there are few trun outs and dead ends.
Hey guys just gauging interest on a NCLR surf n turf trip to Pismo.Instead of camping on the beach we would camp at Hi mountain camp.Which is about 30 min from Pismo right above lake Lopez.There are few good trails up at hi mountain and the surrounding areas.Friday and Saturday morning would be trail runs then if we have time Saturday evening we would go down to the dunes or just do a day on the dunes Sunday.http://www.fs.fed.us/r5/lospadres/recreation/ohv/slrd/

Trail map.Trails would be Garcia Ridge ,Las Chiches and Pine Mountain Road .
Garcia ridge:This ridge top route starts at the Hi Mountain and Pozo/Arroyo Grande Road and dead ends at the Garcia Wilderness boundary. This intermediate route is open to all OHV riders.
Las Chiches trail:From the intersection of Five Points, this trail has several steep sections that are best suited for intermediate to advanced riders. This route mostly follows ridge tops and provides the rider with some outstanding vistas of the valleys below. This trail also ties in with Pine Mountain Route and the Burnout Trail.
Pine Mountain Road:This trail is open to all OHV riders, but is best suited for the intermediate and advanced skill levels. The trail borders the Machesna Wilderness and contains one black diamond section called the Stair Steps. This route offers some outstanding vistas of the valleys below and distant Machesna Wilderness.
